55 Distil Networks Testimonials

"Distil revealed that roughly 30% of our traffic was comprised of bad bots. We’re now blocking over 80% of that, and may decide to get more aggressive with our settings. Distil’s hands-off, proactive approach saves our company two to three man-days per month and is much more effective than the ‘whack-a-mole’ we were playing writing F5 iRules. We’ve also prevented at least three outages, and freed up 25% of our F5 LTM capacity."

"With Distil, we increased our uptime from 99.6 to 99.9%, reduced infrastructure costs and eliminated costly bot-driven API calls. Bots be gone!"

“Using Distil, we proactively defend against bots, and that ends up yielding a total defense posture for both our content and our banner ads. I’d recommend them to any organization that relies on unique content to drive their business.”“Using Distil, we proactively defend against bots, and that ends up yielding a total defense posture for both our content and our banner ads.

"Distil helped us greatly reduce transaction fraud and account takeovers."

"Competitive data mining for ticket price and inventory was a constant threat. Not only was Distil was able to help us identify and block the bots performing this scraping, they also helped us greatly reduce transaction fraud and account takeovers."

"If someone scores a goal, we get that information in real time, and it's automated in our backend system, and the actual orders are automated as well, which means that we can operate really, really quickly. And it cost us money to operate those services. What we were finding is, people were using our websites to harvest those odds data with bots and they can use that information to their advantage elsewhere without paying us for the feed.”

"Distil has allowed me to focus somewhere else. It's totally eradicated our bot issues. Sometimes, I forget it's in place because it's doing such a good job."

"We’re pleasing our customers and chasing away the big threat to our business model, all for zero-add to our cost structure.”

"GuideStar is the world’s largest source of information of nonprofit organizations. We have collected and curated billions of data points on nonprofit organizations and we needed a way to ensure our data was being used in a way that is consistent with our vision of driving social innovation and change. Distil has the ability to fingerprint bots, which gives us the ability to block by signature, not just by IP address."

"Connecting the dots with data is essential to developing allaround protection. That’s a really important deliverable we’re getting from Distil Networks."

"Distil filters through all of our web traffic, ‘distils’ it, cleanses it and makes sure that we don't have to deal with any of the bad bots that try to scrape our sites. It eliminates all the management tasks for us and makes protecting our sites simple."

"Distil provides rich information on malicious bot traffic for our video sites to identify fraudulent traffic. Our clients love the results.”

"Data is the lifeblood of our business. Using Distil, we're able to block bots on a per request basis, rather than just blocking whole IPs. This allows us to protect our data and preserve a good user experience. With Distil, we've essentially outsourced our bot problem."

"Left unchecked, large digital publishers typically see 20% of the traffic hitting their sites from bad bots. With our previous toolset we were at about 7% bad bot traffic, and after deploying Distil, we’re confident that we’re at less than 1% of bad bot traffic.”

“One scraper had built their entire business around scraping one of our airline customers. In an attempt to evade detection, they’d change cloud providers and cycle through hundreds of IP addresses. Distil was still able to block them outright, because Distil isn’t based on blocking IP addresses, but rather on machine learning algorithms and device fingerprinting. With Distil, it’s like having an expert data science team on hand for frontline support. These guys live and breathe bots every day, so they’re really good at solving the issues impacting our airline customers.”
